" Natasha Henstridge was enjoying a motion picture on Brett Ratner's sofa when she went to sleep. She was a 19-year-old fashion version; he was an up-and-coming video supervisor in his very early 20s. They had been socializing in front of the TELEVISION with pals at his New York house.

However when Henstridge got up, the others had actually left. She was alone with Ratner. She rose to leave, Henstridge stated, however he obstructed the doorway with his body and would not budge. He started touching himself, she claimed, then required her to carry out foreplay.

" He coerced me in an actual method. He physically required himself on me," she said. "Eventually, I gave up and also he did his point."

Ratner, with his attorney Martin Vocalist, disputed her account.

Because that event in the very early 1990s, Henstridge has actually located success as an actress– starring in the films "Species" and also "The Whole Nine Lawns." But she said she has actually brought the memory of the altercation with her, and also watched from afar as Ratner became one of Hollywood's most effective gamers– guiding, creating or funding lots of today's most significant box-office hits, consisting of "Rush Hour," "X-Men: The Last Stand," "The Revenant" and "Awful Managers."

Ana, I like you, and I do hope you are more diligent in your commentary (not that I think you are generally lacking in that area), but could you please learn the names and personas of the people you report about? Do you honestly not know ACTRESS Natasha HENstridge? Butchering names and not knowing who you are reporting on is not something you should continue. I hope you see this comment and take it to heart in this moment of introspection.

It’s amazing how people are attacking Ana for that even though she was going by how the news was reported then… also TYT has a history of standing with victims!!! This bullshit controversy would be a controversy if TYT had a RightWing pro sexism/misogyny/assault history… does anyone care or look for the context?? & on top of that they even apologised…who does that in today’s world!!

Second hour of TYT which ANA probably commented on previously are not news hours. The source Ana have selected are also not news source, they are gossip channels. The context is, if it is first hour political news, Ana or Cenk or John would not use tabloid as their only source, no?

Why regular women have this happen to them and they immediately reported go to the cops but yet every other person who’s a star or is in that Circle doesn’t speak so they actually made a name for themselves or see how far they gone the money incentive

Sorry for the essay Nick, I didn’t realize that I was corresponding with somebody that has the attention span of a 3yr old…..nor somebody so intent on victim blaming that to admit any amount of complexity or nuance would detract from their anti-women diarrhea. Perhaps you could just deal with the last part of my essay;

“Is it right that a woman should have to choose between reporting her attacker and advancing her career? Surely that’s a societal problem, not something we should blame and shame victims for.”

What is it with Hollywood directors jerking off in front of you and nutting after a couple pumps or cumming in their trousers? Are these guys actually physically capable of performing sex acts in the first place?

“The presumption of innocence, sometimes referred to by the Latin expression ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies), is the principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty.”

Henstridge — not Heinstridge — was a pretty big deal when she exploded on the scene back in the 1996 movie “Species.” The news about Munn stings because I always prefer to remember her as Sloan Sabbith from “The Newsroom, ” who would have taken no crap from anyone.
